1.2 Advantages of FDI
FDI facilitates global integration, industrial
diversification, privatization, infrastructure deve-lopment, technology upgradation, and acts asan engine of external trade and overall growth.
Unlike other capital flows, FDI is a package
that embodies capital along with technology andmanagerial, marketing and technical skills.
Presence of multinationals promotes greaterefficiency and dynamism in the domestic sector
and widens external trade. Training gained by local employees and theirexposure to modern organizational system andinternational best practices are valuable assetsfor the host country.

1.3 Advantages of FDI FDI is a non-debt creating financial flow and
is preferred to other forms of capital flows. External debt has attendant problems of repayment of principal and payment of interestcharges, which may create problems in case the
project becomes non-viable due to market risk. Example: East Asian crisis in 1998-1999.
Foreign institutional investment is alsovolatile and can be withdrawn in the case of
economic, financial, foreign exchange crisis. FDI does not face any such problems, thereis repatriation of dividends only when theproject is profitable.

1.6 Advantages of FDIover other capital flows
FDI is a non-debt creating financial flow anddoes not have the attendant obligation fordebt servicing (repayment of principal andpayment of interest charges) as in the case ofexternal debt.
Only indirect cost in the form of increasingdividend remittances and import intensity,
which are much less than debt servicecharges.

1.7 Advantages of FDI
Consumer Benefits
- Price, quality and variety- FDI players are better equipped to invest in
difficult and remote markets and developproducts and services better adapted to
consumers- More and more countries can hope todevelop comparative advantages in newsectors. As FDI currently is more marketseeking than efficiency seeking , offereing
opportunities to any country willing to openits market or integrate with its neighbours.

2.1 Types of FDI Market seeking- to take advantage of hugedomestic markets in host countries
Resource exploiting- driven by availability ofmineral and other resources
Export enhancing- to shift production base totake advantage of low wage rates but technicalmanpower and availability of resources
Efficiency enhancing through technology
transfer and infrastructure development

FDI Policies - Tarun Das 11
2.1 Host Country Policies FDI inflows are determined by a complex setof economic, political and social factors.
Foreign investors look beyond the array offiscal incentives offered by the host country.
FDI is attracted by sound macro-economicpolicies, stable economic systems, sustainedhigh growth,liberalisation of trade, investmentand industry, particularly by liberal FDI regimes.
Full currency convertibility, free repatriation,less performance criteria, tax holidays and otherincentives, abolition of screening requirements,relaxation of sectoral limits on foreign equity.

2.2 Other Factors Attracting FDI Domestic market potentials
Low wage rates Low transactions costs
High rates of return
Labour mobility
Matured capital market Modern financial system
Efficient infrastructure
Established legal and institutional set-up Transparent rules and regulations
Administrative speed and efficiency
Special economic zones, EPZs etc.

2.3 Other Factors Attracting FDINational treatment to foreign investors
Most favored nation treatment (MFN)Free transfer of profits and dividends
International standards for laws
International arbitration in the case of disputesProtection of intellectual property rights (IPR)
Right to employ management of its choice
The formation of regional trading blocks such
as NAFTA, ASEAN, APEC, SAARC etc. had alsoan important impact on the FDI pattern
In future, countries outside the regional blocksmight have disadvantages in attracting FDI.

2.4 Foreign Investors Dislike Most Any screening of investment except fornational security, public health, individualsafety, and environmental protection.
Performance requirements such as exportorientation, local content, value addition, foreign
exchange, as these distort international tradeand investment flows, and result in diminishedreturns to both home and host countries.
Since 1980, countries that guaranteed full
repatriation of profits attracted 95% of foreigninvestment, countries adhering to Convention ofSettlement of Investment Disputes attracted90% of foreign investment from USA.

2.5 Role of Fiscal Incentives Fiscal and other incentives remain an
important part of a countrys investment promotion package, and can tilt the balance ininvestors location choices, particularly for
footloose industries such as automobiles andfood processing industries.
Incentives play, however, only a minor rolefor FDI and attract only those fly-by-nightfirms, which exist on exploitation of incentives.
As incentives represent substantial economiccosts, a rational, efficient, equitable andinternationally competitive tax system is moreconducive to FDI than fiscal incentives.

3.1 Home Country Policies Few developing countries have paid
due attention to outward FDI policies byliberalizing outward capital flows.
There is a need to liberalize furthercapital markets and foreign exchangeregulations to move towards full capitalaccount convertibility.
Liberalisation of policies for
institutional investors such as insurance,pension and provident funds could lead toa multiple increase of foreign investment.

5.1 Impact of FDI on Indian Economy
- FDI inflows are more of tariff jumpingand market seeking rather thanefficiency seeking or export driven
- 40 percent of FDI inflows went into
acquisition of gross fixed assets such asplant and machienery.Increase in Exports
- Export as a proportion of sales amonga sample of 450-odd (FDI) controlledfirms in India was just 11.6 percent.

5.2 Advantages of FDI
Infrastructure and technology transfer- More through merger and acquisition (M&A)route to increase its share in the Indianmarket rather than greenfield investment toestablsh new industrial and service units.
- A study by Nagesh Kumar ofRIS states that40 percent of FDI in India came throughM&A route to take over Indian companies,increase control in existing subsidiaries byissuing shares at low cost or buy back sharesand de-list from stock exchanges.
Less or limited ripple effect of the technologytransfer that the FDI is supposed to bringacross a large economy.

5.3 Advantages of FDI
- Increased productive and managerial
efficiency due to competition from multilateralsubsidiaries.
- Studies of Clive Harris(2003) and McKinseyGlobal Institute(2003) indicated that FDI has
a significant positive impact on productivityand coverage of services, particularly financialand telecommunications.
- In sectors like automotive, telecom andfinancial services, increased competition and
investments have resulted in an increase inoutput and employment, fall of prices, widerange of products and rise of quality.

6.1 Policy Issues for Foreign Investment
Liberalisation of labour laws and labourmarkets to enhance labour mobility
Simplification of land laws and regulations Unbundling and sharing of risks Rationalisation of user charges
Strengthening of capital markets Development of municipal bonds Strengthening Regulatory, legal and
institutional set up
Strengthening of Public-Private Partnership Improvement of model BOT legislation Separation of policy makers, regulators and
operators

6.2 Sectoral Policies and Regulation
Locational, safety and environmentalregulations are necessary for the efficientfunctioning of industry.
Simplification of excessively detailed,
outdated and complicated regulations forutilities, petroleum sector, banking andinsurance, transport and telecommunications.
Reduction, simplification, and greatertransparency of the rules and procedures andfurther reduction of the bureaucraticintervention are needed to attract moreforeign investment.

6.3 Minerals including oil and gas
Mineral industries, including petroleum andgas, create particular problems for privateinvestment because resource rents have tobe divided between local landowners, theStates and the central governments.
Private firms also seek a share of such rentsto compensate for the risk of mineralexploration & subsequent mine development.
The efficient and equitable apportioning of
mineral rents is thus an important aspect ofthe economic policy framework for attractingprivate investment including FDI.

6.4 Minerals including oil and gas
Indian states impose cess and royalties onminerals to raise resources.
Minerals and power have also environmental
aspects that should be taken into account whileallowing private investment.
Indonesia and Malaysia have been amongworld leaders in dealing with foreign investment
in petroleum, gas and other minerals.

6.5 Agriculture and plantation
Agriculture and real estate present difficulties
for foreign investment because ofcomplexities of landownership, rules andtaxes regarding tenancy, sale, purchase,transfer, lease or mortgage.
Because of these problems, India like manycountries, does not allow foreign investmentin agriculture and real estate.
However, in the case of plantation, foreigninvestment in nucleus estates and processing
facilities can provide a market for farmersand at the same time enable them to improvetheir productivity.

6.6 Water supply and sanitation
Water is a merit good with many positive health
and environmental spillovers. Under UN-Millennium Development Goals,
Government is committed to provide universalaccess to the minimum daily requirement of safe
water, but this may require subsidies. Water distribution pipes are a monopoly networkof the local government and many water andsanitation systems are buried.
These factors complicate the transfer of water
distribution to private sector.

6.7 Water supply and sanitation
Scope of unbundling the water sector is notclear with limited potential for competitionamongst bulk water service providers becausethe main water sources in municipalities arelocation specific and limited in number.
Operational costs of providing the raw resource
are relatively low compared with sunk capitalcosts in pipes, dams and treatment stations. Efficiency gains in water supply come from
increased trade amongst water users andreduced distribution losses rather than
competition amongst suppliers. In the case of water supply, organizational
restructuring, corporatization and unbundling ofrisks should precede full private participation.

FDI Policies - Tarun Das 40
6.8 Water supply and sanitation
Resource management functions such ascatchment planning should be separated fromcommercial functions of service delivery.Government should be responsible for the formerwhile private operators can compete for the latter.
Govt. should own water pipe and sewerage
network while private operators lease long-termrights to use pipelines and collect revenues fromservice delivery.
Private operators have incentives to reduce water
losses and costs, expand consumer connectionsand to improve services to the consumers.
-

6.9 Water supply and sanitation It is necessary to develop private property
rights and commercial law, to establish clearaccounting and environmental standards,transparent legal and regulatory system, andintroduce specific BOT legislation for private
investment in utilities. Tariff reform is equally fundamental to
improve utility efficiency and delivery.
While private operators should bearconstruction, commercial and operation costsand risks, government should bear thesovereign risks.

7. Concluding Remarks As the first generation reforms take root
and second generation reforms unfold,India is emerging as a favouritedestination for foreign investment, anda land of immense opportunity for all.
India should maintain its open doorpolicy in goods and services production,investment and trade.
Carried to their logical ends, reformswould make India as one of the most
dynamic and fastest growing economiesof the by 2010.
India is an economic miracle waiting tohappen.
